Start and Initialization the states containg list of OrderedDict in init method gives error.

[msdian-hub]

In a class ABCD inside the init method I have variable state consisting of OrderedDict containing list of dictionaries. Basically the state is of module 'transitions' which are imported from class 'machine' and inside state I have orderedDict consisting of list of dictionaries.

class ABCD(Machine)
def init(self,args):
self.a=opts['a']
self.a=opts['b']
self.states=orderedDict([{'name':'start'},{'name':'connection','on_enter':'go'}])

Error:
Argument of type "list[dict[str, str]]" cannot be assigned to parameter "__iterable" of type "Iterable[list[str]]" in function "init"

Is the orderedDict not allowed inside init method. How can I deal with that?

Thanks in advance.

Machine.state is an internal property used to store State objects (in an OrderedDict). It must not be reassigned or overridden. I suggest you rename the property/variable for your custom dictionary. If [{'name':'start'},{'name':'connection','on_enter':'go'}] are supposed to be configuration data for States. You should use the method Machine.add_states instead of trying to assign them to self.states:

class ABCD(Machine):

    def __init__(self, ...):
        # ...
        self.add_states([{'name':'start'},{'name':'connection','on_enter':'go'}])
